• Help to install Windows Vista

  I need help to install Windows Vista on several new machines HP Windows 8. I have no trouble creating a new partition. I have no problem installing Windows 7 (with SP1). When I try Windows Vista (SP2) by using the same methods that are successful with Win 7, I have no luck at all

  Any suggestions would be very welcome.

  Thank you, Brad

  Hello

  1. dual Boot or new installation?

  2. you don't say what kind of Vista disk you use to install.

  3 have you checked on the HP website to see if these Comptuer models have Vista drivers available for their hardware?

  If there is no Vista drivers, you're wasting your time.

  Equip your computer model number, operating system for this information and see if there are troubleshooting steps for it.

• Halo: Combat Evolved for PC works only on Windows Vista - Error Message "" unload the debugger, and then try again."

  I'm having a problem running Halo: Combat Evolved on Windows Vista. I can insert the disc and install the game without problem. The problem is that when I try to launch the game, I get error message saying "" unload the debugger, and then try again." I tried to install some of Halo patches to see if that would fix the error (for example, 1.6 and 1.7), but when I try and open the patch .exe file I get an error message telling me to go to a microsoft Web site or try to update the game manually. In addition, I tried to contact Gearbox Software to see if they could help me, all they said was to contact Microsoft.

  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the game does not work for me and how can I make it work?

  Let me know, thanks. :)

  I'm Zenith one 733F error Code when I try to install the latest Windows Vista Update, which is an update to SQL Server 2005 (Service Pack 2 KB970895).  This update has failed several times now.

  Disable all security software before installing the updates.

  Once installed, updates allow security software.

  Hope this has been helpful.
